Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This is our 1st night HH tradition & have to agree with a number of the prior reviews. The food is good, plentiful & better than the other Mexican options on the island. Casual & accessible in the Bi-Lo shopping strip center along Pope, the location is convenient, though closed on Sundays & holidays (ie 4th of July / call to check). Despite the name, ironically, the owner comes off as patently unfriendly. His signature margaritas are overpriced, overly sweet & utterly forgettable. The guacamole is fresh though bland. You can fix it with a few squeezes of fresh lime (on the salsa bar) & a shake of salt. The salsa is good & the chips fresh & bottomless. The help (one of whom is, I believe, the guy's wife!) is friendly & helpful & they offer a decent selection of jarritos & horchata. If you can work your way around the unhappy owner, the freshly prepared good food & pleasant other service make this a nice stop while on HH. Good carnitas, tacos, burritos, including fish, oyster, steak, chicken, etc. The nachos are also good as are the quesadillas. Far superior than the kitschy Aunt Chilada's tourist trap right across the street :(

Margaritas are top-notch! Great salsa. Must try the queso, it's very tasty. Got steak and chicken fajita burritos, both are tasty, but probably a little heavy on the beans and rice. Would have enjoyed a better meat:rice ratio.
(4)Bill P.
This is a small Tex-Mex restaurant in a shopping center. We've visited it several times for late snacks and drinks. Amigos claims to have "world famous" Margaritas. I can't say for sure that they're world famous, but their Margaritas are refreshing and very drinkable. The chips were homemade and served hot. The chips were served with a mild salsa, but Amigos has salsa bar that offers several varieties with varying degrees of heat as well as chopped onions, cilantro, and jalapenos. The guacamole was smooth and fresh. The nachos were excellent. The cheese was throughout the chips rather than just on top and there was an abundance of black beans, olives, jalapenos and fresh tomatoes.
(4)Jerry T.
Great food. Strip mall atmosphere. Next time we will get carry out. I recommend for sure.
(4)John L.
Portions were good but the food lacked any zest or flavor. Rice was very dry and shrimp dish very fishy. The tortillas were dry as was the Pico de gallo sauce. Had to add salsa and hot sauce for any type of flavor. My wife is Spanish and her cooking has much more flavor. Would not go here again.
(1)Patricia G.
Note: the prices are a tad higher in the current menu than in the one that was online as of 6/1. Very very fresh food. And I can dig any place that has an "experimental' salsa on the salsa bar. The tacos are huge, and the salsas are flavorful. The chips and tortillas appear to be freshly made. The margaritas looked delicious, but I didn't try one. I think if I were a resident of HHI, this would be a go-to spot. The ambiance was lacking, but in a tourist town, sometimes that's what you need. It's definitely all food, no show. Try it when you're in town.
(4)Lindzie T.
Our go-to place upon arriving in Hilton Head! A little Mexican "hole in the wall" that isn't really. The food is fresh, delicious, a little on the expensive side for mexican, but worth it! Try the barbecue chicken salad!
(5)Angela M.
A dive Mexican joint in a strip mall, but its open for a late lunch, when many restaurants close for their daily siesta... I was a little confused about how one taco would cost $4.50, but then I saw the size of the taco. My husband and I split a fish taco and an order of chips and salsa plus cheese dip, and that was PLENTY of food. The fish taco was good because you could tell the fish was super fresh, but it didn't come with the usual mayo-type sauce so it lacked a bit of flavor. We remedied this by putting some of our cheese dip and some salsa on top.
(4)John S.
Best steak fajita burrito I have ever experienced. First class margaritas. Great find an great value. Visit frequently when on the island (five months) and always take anyone who visits.
(5)Kelsey B.
This place was awesome. The menu was a riot: "cheap swill wine, probably from a box, aged in the truck..." So I was surprised when I was served a house (Cuervo standard) margarita that was awesome. Don't judge it for being in a strip mall or that you have to order at the counter because the food is amazing. I got the chicken fajita burrito which was delicious, but next time I'll get what my boyfriend got--oyster burrito. That thing was scrumptious.
(4)Amy O.
Great off the beaten path mexi fare! Heading out of Hilton Head we realized we were starving and had to eat before we hit the highway. Spied Amigo's in a strip mall off Pope, we're adventurous and the sign outside promising burritos drew us in. So glad we did! The owner Andrew was welcoming and talkative and we felt right at home. Loved the fish tacos, and with a side of chips and salsa it was plenty for lunch for me -- full of crispy fish, cabbage, and a traditional sauce. Kids had quesadillas and burritos, also big portions and good. Salsa bar had 5 options with the hottest rated 'experimental' for heat. No margs or box wine this time, but we'll be back.
(4)Dave W.
We were in the mood for Mexican, and the reviews for this place were great so we gave it a try. It definitely lived up to the reviews! The chips and questions were very good. I had the chicken fajita burrito...excellent, but way too big for me. Others in the group tried the fajitas and the tacos and truly enjoyed them. I would have given it 5 stars but it was a bit pricey and the strip mall ambience is less than ideal.
(4)Marc W.
Great food, and very fresh. Huge burritos, and the Baha tacos are superb. Missed the margaritas, but next time we'll know.
(5)Ashley S.
Wow after what I read on Yelp about this place, I had high hopes. What a disappointment. I got a steak burrito, while it was huge it was just ok. It tasted like any other standard Mexican food. It didn't seem like high quality fresh ingredients like stated on so many reviews. I'd choose quality over quantity any day. My husband got a carnitas burrito and he did not like it. He was so turned off by it that he lost his appetite. He barely ate any of it. The salsa bar was less than expected. The salsa was just ok but it was warm in temperature which grosses me out. We've had many delicious meals here in Hilton head and Amigo Cafe left us very disappointed. I wish we would have went some where else.
(2)Katie P.
Very good, huge portions, would return! Our bill ended up being much higher than expected (party of 10), but was a very good meal nonetheless.
(4)Cheryl J.
This place is the real deal. I have always been a huge fan of Chipotle, but Amigo's beats Chipotle by far in authentic flavor, portion size, and price. I ordered a burrito and little did I know I actually ordered a small child. It was gigantic!!! I had trouble picking up the burrito and had to use a fork and knife. The oozing cheese, sauteed peppers and onions combined with black beans, chicken, and the perfect amount of spice made for an unforgettable explosion of flavor that I will never forget. Don't forget to ask for a side of their guacamole either to enhance your meal further. The margaritas at Amigos are great, some of the best on the Island, so don't pass one up. They have great homemade salsas and chips. The staff are very friendly, and so are the regulars and locals who helped us out when we visited. The cafe has about a dozen tables and the service is fairly quick. Overall this place is a great stop, especially if you enjoy Mexican cuisine. They give you a ton of food at a great price. Definitely stop in to check this place out! The best part is you will have leftovers to enjoy later! But, its also smart to just share something. It will be more than enough! Enjoy!
(5)Steve P.
Carnitas tacos are the best. Fresh, lots lean meat, very generous portion. My wife loves the BBQ chicken salad with homemade dressing. And Jimmy's margaritas are awesome.
(5)Kate Q.
We were in Hilton Head on vacation a few months ago when my loving husband, who was desperately trying to placate another pregnancy craving for Mexican food, found this place on Yelp. It's kind of hard to find as it's tucked back into a shopping center, but oh man is it worth the trip! From the outside, it looks rather unappealing and I almost didn't stay because it wasn't what I was expecting, but I am so glad that we decided to eat here anyway. Everything on the menu is made fresh by two women working quietly in the kitchen. They also have a salsa/hot sauce bar with big, heaping bowls of fresh salsa of differing heats, cilantro, and peppers. I was in heaven! The food came quickly and besides being fresh and tasty, it was honestly the most reasonably priced meal we had the entire vacation. $25 with tip for a big lunch for two people. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. It was so nice to find this spot in such a touristy town like Hilton Head. The next time I am back in town, I will DEFINITELY eat here again!
(5)Shawn S.
First off: Cindy J. from Coraopolis, PA review below is not for the Amigo's on HHI. Not sure where she ate...maybe Bluffton. Absolutely the freshest, biggest and best there is on the island... period!!! -Freshest ingredients -Biggest salads and burritos you'll ever eat -Best bang for the buck on the island! Go for: The BBQ chix salad - biggest seller Margaritas - best around.....check the Saturday Special Staff - go see CiCe and Jimmy the" Burrito Connoisseur"
(5)Sher Y.
Good prices HUGE tacos and burritos. They also.have this amazing salsa bar that is included.
(4)Angela S.
Was craving Mexican while on the island, and we decided to come here on recommendation from one of my co workers. It's a tiny place with not a lot of seating. When you walk in you have to order your food at the front counter, which I think is a little strange. I ordered a frozen margarita and a chicken burrito and it came to 19 dollars. A little pricey for my liking but as is everything on the island. They also had beers and other mixed drinks available. The menu consisted of the traditional Mexican options, however, everything had a little bit of a healthier twist. There was low fat sour cream and several vegetarian and low fat options to choose from. They also had a salsa bar available that had several good salsas to choose from. And although my burrito was expensive, it was delicious and large enough for two meals. I'm not I'll be back here given my limited time on the island, but I would recommend it for anyone craving a quick Mexican meal.
(3)Lexy S.
This is always a favorite. Fresh mexican food and excellent service every visit. The shrimp salad is amazing. The vegetable burrito is great too. Nothing is ever greasy. Love Amigos!
(5)Brandon G.
This place is great--fast-casual, delicious and authentic Mexican food. Chips are fresh, warm, and seasoned well. Salsa is OK, guacamole is pretty good. I ordered three tacos: veggie, pollo asado, and fried oyster. Each taco is loaded with food. The oyster taco was so good--briney oysters, fried nicely with slaw and salsa. Chicken taco was also good. Veggie taco was OK for what it was, but lacked balance; it was just a heap of sauteed veggies on top of corn tortillas. Could have used some additional flavors and textures, as it was pretty mushy. All in all, a hole-in-the-wall with fantastic, fresh food. A must try.
(4)Lauren B.
My husband and I stopped here while on vacation on Hilton Head Island. We stopped by based on the yelp reviews. We loved the laid back atmosphere. The portions were humongous. The chips weren't included but they extra purchase was totally worth it. The guacamole was very fresh and the salsa bar was great. My husband got the fish burrito and loved it (which is amazing as he isn't a Mexican food fan.) and my bean and cheese was awesome. If you love Mexican food and want a super casual atmosphere and a great value this is a great spot!
(4)David H.
We live on HHI. this where to go if you want good tourist free Mexican that serves alcohol.
(4)Melissa M.
Get the combo and share it! We ordered the guacamole and it is a bit bland as previously mentioned but they have a salsa bar so pick your salsa, mild or HOT and add it! It's more of a counter service place but the food is fresh and delish ;-)
(5)D B.
Awesome food but tough to find. Situated across the road from the HHI visitor center in a shopping plaza. Once you uncover this place you may want to eat multiple meals there. Excellent service and the girls at the counter really aim to please. Tried the chips and guacamole very smooth and hot chips (temp wise not spicy). Next on to the quesadilla and chicken burrito. Both right on target and amazing portion size for the value. Margarita was also freshly made and balanced the right way! Will definitely return to this diamond in the rough when we come back to HHI. Keep up the great work!
(5)Tim B.
Had high expectations after reading the reviews but it was a letdown for me. Guacamole was foul, bland and had a strange taste. Mayonnaise?!?! I tried to strike up a conversation with the guy at the guy taking orders (the owner?) with Boston accent by asking how long the restaurant had been there; he smugly said 19 years ( I have been coming to HHI for over 20 years, had never eaten there and now I know why). And acted like I was an idiot for not knowing. When I placed my order I asked how many tacos you get with an order. He said one, so I ordered two. When my order arrived I got 4 tacos. I asked him about it and he said yes, you get two tortillas with each, again acting like I was an idiot. Is it possible he doesn't understand the menu? Perplexing. I couldn't touch the second order so it went wasted. Took it home but no room in the fridge. After looking at prior reviews again it looks like they are full of friend and family reviews, so be wary.
(2)Scott G.
Had a chance to eat here on our 10th anniversary trip to the Island. The place should be featured on Food Network's Dinner, Dives, and Drive-ins. It's tiny, but worth the wait. We enjoyed the queso and Salsa to start things out. Their special house made margarita was fantastic, and for the entree I enjoyed the Chicken Fajita burrito. Bring your appetite as the burritos are enormous! The staff was attentive and the owner and their chief marketer were great to chat with. Will definitely repeat on our 11th visit. If you are craving Mexican on HHI, Amigos is the place to go!
(5)LC B.
Four stars because no high chairs and the owner is a grump. I've been eating at Amigos for 20+ years and love the food. The plain ole chicken quesadilla is great, the carnitas are awesome as is the steak taco. The burritos are gigantic! Actually all portions are quiet large. Back to not having high chairs...I was shocked to walk in with my one year old to find no high chairs. Never noticed before. Saw two other families with babies sitting on their laps trying to eat. That's just ridiculous in my opinion. The owner is also just not nice...hasn't ever really been over friendly. I miss the old partner/owner. The sweet ladies who work there seem on egg shells with him, but when at the tables they couldn't be friendlier! Anyway, to get past those two things...amigos is one of my favorite places to get a quick casual meal.
(4)Howard W.
We went to Amigos the other night. We'd read the reviews on Yelp so fine dining, we hadn't expected, nor looked for. The food was fine. Not phenomenal, certainly not five stars, but fine. The thing that stands out is really that it was pricey. $45 for two bbq salads, a kids quesadilla and a margarita....a bit pricey for what it is.
(2)Ricky B.
I have eaten at this restaurant over 700 times, the quality of the food is so good I have never had a bad meal I usually get the Pollo Asado Burrito my wife loves the bbq chicken salad. The owner Jimmy knows his stuff he has a great staff in the kitchen that know how to cook Mexican and Santa Fe style foods. I love the salsa bar and the homemade tortilla chips fresh as can be. I love this place...
(5)Trey m.
If ever a place deserves 5 stars this is it! My mother-n-law, which likes nothing, loved this place. I had the fish taco and oyster taco and both were amazing. It simultaneously satisfied Mexican and seafood needs. It was also very price friendly. Eat here!!!!
(5)Janet C.
My favorite is the BBQ chicken salad, or BBQ chicken quesadilla. Huge nacho plates and great burritos too! And, Jimmy makes a mean margarita :)
(4)Kathleen T.
The good: friendly service and good margaritas. The nachos and chips were tasty. The chips were fresh made. The average: the quesadillas and carnitas were generous in portion but lacking in any real notable flavor. The bad: the burritos were stuffed with rice! Ugh, in my opinion there is no reason to ever put rice in a burrito unless you are trading volume for flavor. Great carne asada or carnitas should not need that rice - put it on the side if you must
(3)Kathea S.
Wanted Mexican for dinner one night on vacation and didn't want to go to San Miguel's or Santa Fe Cafe (see that review for why). Trusted yelp and boy are we glad that we did. It's a dive for sure. Hole in the wall? Yep. Really good mexican. Totally! Portions are huge. Hubby got the burrito and could only eat half of it. I got the fajitas and could only do the same. Very tasty.
(3)Chris M.
Very bad experience. Must pay before receiving food. Tip automatically added before service is evaluated. Lady taking order messed up order and would not admit to mistake. Gave my order to another in my party and insisted I repay for my order. Ended up paying about $7.50 for a $4.50 taco I did not receive.
(1)Jeff C.
This is more of an authentic Mexican restaurant that most Americans won't like. This is a hole in the wall restaurant with no waiter service. I would pass this one on by! The food kept me going to the bathroom all night!
(2)J.B. W.
Decided to eat here my last night during my HH vacation - good thing I waited otherwise I wouldn't have eaten anywhere else while I was down there. My girlfriend and I each got a burrito, should have known better from the previous reviews and split one... they are HUGE, but extremely tasty and they reheat well (left overs anyone?). Opted to splurge and get a margarita, this had to be one of the best restaurant margaritas I've had... ever. The salsa bar was awesome, I thought the queso dip was a little steep ($7) but it was delicious also. I've had mexican food in Texas and around my hometown, this has to be in top of the group for me for flavor and cost. The drawback to this restaurant is the dining aree, not a lot of room only a handful of 4 person tables and it can get busy with people and families but from a food perspective it was on point.
(5)Matt S.
Three stars is a perfect rating for Amigo Cafe'y Cantina even though after reading the reviews on Yelp, I thought I was going to a get a five-star fish taco. They are good, but they aren't THE BEST. I have to admit I am a hard judge for mexican food, especially fish tacos (read my review for South Beach Bar & Grille in San Diego), but these are okay by any standards. At $4 for one fish taco, the prices seem a bit steep at the cash register, but when you open the aluminum foil, you realize you are basically eating two tacos in one. Everything here is huge, from the tacos to burritos to margarita's (check my picture). I ordered three baja fish tacos ($4 each), one low country oyster taco ($4), an order of chips with salsa bar ($3), guacamole ($2.50), queso dip ($4) with a margarita and couple of beers. In the end, the bill came to about $45, which blew my mind. I thought I was coming for a couple tacos. Of course, my girlfriend and I ordered WAY too much food, but I still thought the price was a bit much. The fish tacos were good and I enjoyed them more than I thought I was going to when I opened one up. The queso dip and guacamole were definitely better than most places I have been. My girlfriend sucked down the margarita and loved it. I had experienced a few weak drinks since being on HIlton Head and this definitely wasn't one of them. Plenty of tequila in there. If I lived in Hilton Head, this would probably be my main Mexican spot, especially with the two huge flat-screens on the walls, but since I've definitely experienced better, I can't say anything except that Amigo Cafe'y Cantina was average. Go for a fish taco and a margarita, they're both worth trying.
(3)Yngwie M.
Had a fish taco and a carnitas taco. Both were very good. These things are about $4, but they're HUGE. It's 2 corn tortillas overlapping, so it's a little hard to eat. Almost wish they'd make them smaller and scale down the price. I'd rather buy 2 easier-to-eat tacos than 1 huge one. But no biggie. Salsa verde was good...HOT...but good. Would definitely go again.
(5)Luke T.
Locals love this place. If you want to stay away from tourist traps, you should try this place. A no frills, honest, fresh made Mexican fare. And yes, one taco will fill you. Almost forgot, the margarita's are good, get it without the salt.
(4)Kaitlin B.
Went for the first time tonight at the recommendation of my neighbor and it was delicious. Luckily, she warned me that the burritos were huge. A friend and I split chips and queso and a steak fajita burrito with no beans and rice on the side (nice that they do that). It was still huge and we both left stuffed. I will definitely be back.
(5)A C.
We arrived at Amigo's based on the recommendation of a local. The location is odd; it's in a shopping plaza. The quality of the food was great. We ordered tacos. Portion sizes are large. If you are one of those people who likes an attractive presentation of food, this isn't the place for you. Paper plates and plastic forks are about all you'll get. They offer a salsa bar so you can add your own toppings-fantastic idea! The freshly made chips are divine, and the margaritas are worth the trip. We'll be back!
(4)Michelle M.
Great place to unwind, have a beer and some good mexican food - easy. The atmosphere is super casual, and it's not pricey. The food has been good every time we've been. Some of the burritos are big enough to share, and the salsa is always fresh and delicious. We'll be back again on our next trip.
(5)Lynette P.
The scene: you arrive in hilton head on a Friday night after many a flight delay and nary a bite to eat since breakfast at 9am. You are famished. Amigo cafe is essentially on your resort it's so close. So you decide to give this Mexican dive a go. Wow! We were not disappointed. Potentially the best Mexican any of us had had. Huge portions. A condiment bar where you can load up on on e of their three salsas or add cilantro, onions, pico de gallo, etc. Killer margaritas that don't skimp on the tequila - only the classic lime available though. We got fresh corn chips with salsa and some thought it was a bit watery but I loved it. It was well seasoned. The spicy salsa is spicy - be warned. The tacos are a good size for those with an average appetite. The taco salad and the burritos are massive - and worth every bite.
(5)Jen V.
BBQ chicken Salad...enough said! I have eaten here probably 10+ times and this is the only thing i have tried besides their chips and salsa (which I do love). Now i'm sure this isn't a fair review of the whole restaurant but I just can't get past the salad. I lived on HHI for a summer and now that I am gone, I crave it. Do yourself a favor and go here specifically for that. It is a really good lunch spot and a short walk from South forest beach. Consider splitting as their portions are really big for lunch.
(5)Andie B.
They need to work on their guacamole. It's awful!!! No flavor at all. The gauc was a dark green????? Good thing they are not known for their guacamole. All we got was the guac and based on that did not want to order anything else.
(1)Kate S.
Visited Amigos Cafe with family for the first time and it did not disappoint!! Mom and Pops restaurant, local, laid back atmosphere with awesome food. My dish was the BBQ chicken salad, big portion, came in taco salad shell. Chicken was not dry and dressing to salad ratio was perfecto! Also has a salsa bar. Their chunky salsa was also delicious, couldn't stop eating!! My family also ordered Oyster tacos which we wished we had ordered more to go~ Would I recommend?! SÃ!
(4)Andrea I.
Large portions! The margaritas were very strong and yummy! Definitely a hidden hole in the wall worth finding... And the owner is a Red Sox fan so definitely worth going to the restaurant
(4)Michelle S.
everything we had was delicious and the margaritas were awesome. Salsa bar, chicken fajitas, chorizo burrito.... Awesome.
(5)Tracy T.
We stumbled upon this place via yelp because the in-laws wanted Mexican...I know they were turned off by the hole in the wall nature of it but I think after we got our food and drinks everyone was pleasantly surprised. Coming from Jersey places like this aren't odd to find, but in Hilton Head compared to the area and most of the dining options this was kind of a weird place. You pay at the register and they give you a number your food then comes out to you within a few minutes. We started off with beers and then tried their margaritas---really really good. A little sweet but totally worth it and served in a plastic cup like a boss. I believe we started off with chips and guac, very good but the main event--we all ordered burritos. I got the fried oyster burrito cuz I was feeling adventurous. This things are gigantic and stuffed with goodness. At our table there was 2 steak burritos and a chicken. Everyone was happy and we left stuffed. 2 of us packed ours up to go and had the next day, still very tasty. If you're in the mood for a low-key, tasty meal, with a beer or awesome margarita this is your jam. Don't miss out!
(5)George B.
One of our favorite places in Hilton Head for a quick meal. Good fresh Mexican fare, cold Mexican beer and home made salsa's.
(4)Mike B.
Great fresh food. Portions are large and the margaritas are awesome. I would recommend for a great lunch or dinner. Try the margarita!
(5)Cindy L.
Use your GPS to get there, its in a strip mall...come as you are and STUFF YOUR FACE WITH DELICIOUSNESS! the guacamole is creamy and wonderful, chips are fresh, warm and perfect and stop by the salsa bar after you get your food to spice it up to the level you want...I order the shrimp and they were great size and cooked to perfection! Margaritas seem to be quite popular ( I don't drink) and you can always get carry out...Friendly service, clean and dive like in a good way... I'm going back whenever I'm in town...
(5)Kerrie C.
Ordered one taco dinner and it filled me up with left overs for $4.50! Margarita was fabulous!
(5)Jeff B.
This place is great the food is over the top. What a great Mexican cantina You can't eat it all.
(5)Sarah B.
Phenomenal clean place to go. Love the food, fresh, and the place is warm and welcoming.
(5)Stephan C.
I had the biggest burrito in my life there! it was awesome!
(5)Debby S.
Big portions, great margaritas and tasty food!
(4)Sue M.
This place was a great find. Possibly the best margarita I've ever had. The tacos were really good and huge! Don't be fooled by the prices--I thought I'd order two since they were under $5 each. I couldn't even finish one. The salsa bar is good--be sure to try the salsa verde.
(5)Wayne G.
Excellent hole in the wall place. Superb quality and large portions. Veggie burrito was outrageous. A sleeper/keeper. If you're looking for fancy, don't go. If you're looking for authentic, great food - run don't walk.
(4)Steve H.
Simple, Fresh, Great tasting food! I spend about 25 nights a year in Hilton Head, and this is usually the only place that I eat.
(5)Melissa R.
the tacos were huge! i recommend the carnitas. the chips were warm, thick and crispy. I have a problem ordering and paying for chips and salsa. A real taqueria would not make you pay for chips and salsa. I would definitely come here every time I visit HHI.
(4)Joe W.
Wonderful food, great service. Huge portions worth the money every visit.
(5)Matt P.
If you're into volume and not taste this is the place. Huge portions, but if you're looking for quality food and authentic Mexican cuisine, move on. Anyone who thinks this is good Mexican food has never had good Mexican food.
(1)G G.
Super fresh Mexican - texmex leaning. Salsa bar is a star. Fish tacos, carnetas great. Guac great. Fun fried oyster options. Get the queso and dump in fresh salsa and jalapenos - yum!! So, no, it's not Austin or San Diego but not too shabby for east coast. Great beer selection.
(3)Ryan H.
Best fish tacos I've ever had! my girlfriend and I each ordered two and shared a thing of chips. Not halfway through the first taco we concurred and declared that these were the best fish tacos we've had the pleasure of sacrificing to our intestinal gods. Fresh ingredients all around, large portions (one could be enough - g/f didn't finish her second), and a very inviting style on the inside make Amigo a great stop. The only complaint is that it's tucked away off Pope Ave. in a strip mall, which created much frustration and profanity as I relentlessly drove around trying to find it. We're here for a few more days and hope to sneak in another visit before we leave!

Two locations (one on-Island and one off), small Mexican restaurants. The ingredients are very fresh and tasty. Great quesedillas and burritos. The chips are fresh made and served hot and salty. Great for lunch or a quick dinner.
